This is fine on obvious passing downs but two tights and three WR means LF/Guice will not be in the game... Which I don't like one bit.


I like it. 1st down or 2nd down, empty backfield five 6'4 210lb+ players running all over the place.

Also, (if all of them are running routes) you're assuming that the OL will be able to pick up a blitz without TE/RB help.

This isn't exactly a safe assumption after what I saw last season.


Look at the players he listed, 3 of them are freshman. I'm assuming he meant 2017 when we should bring back 4/5 starters on the OL.

Maybe 2018... If the team goes to a dime, those guys are suddenly a bunch of 220 lb. blockers for runs from McMillan/Scott at QB and Guice (if he doesn't go pro)/Brossette at RB. If they don't go dime, they've got severe coverage problems. Even if we don't have the best blocking, those guys can use their big bodies to shield off defenders on short routes.

And who knows... Leslie might retire before 2018. It might be Aranda's team then.

So yes... Patiently waiting...
